place. I loved his home, but I needed something of my own. He was excited about my progress and told me that he and Emilia would be at the grand opening of The Hope Music Conservatory.
Finding a condo in downtown Denver is no small feat. I needed something that was secure on an upper level and at least two bedrooms. I felt like one of those annoying people on House Hunters, I had all these expectations and must haves, but nothing was hitting all the marks. Feeling discouraged by Friday, I decided to give Stacy a call to see if she knew of a residential agent I could use because I just wasn't finding anything. She suggested one of her other brothers, apparently nothing in Denver got bought or sold without a Kerrigan on the deal. Her brother, Michael agreed to meet me Saturday morning. After I explained what I was looking for, he told me he had several properties. They do meet everything on my list, but that the starting prices here in the high four hundred thousands. I asked him to show me what he had, and we would discuss money after. I made a choice Saturday morning. I got dressed making sure I was fully covered grabbed a coffee and went condo shopping. Michael met me at The Mad Batter, handing me a stack of papers.
He started talking, "I have six units to show you, all within a mile of your business. I have your list of must-haves, but I will tell you that my mother put her two cents in and has suggested a unit that has all your must-haves except further west about a mile out of your desired area. I would like to show you that first, so I can call my mom and let her know you saw it. That way, I won't have her calling me every five minutes.”
I nod and we get on the way. Pulling into the building, Michael starts telling me about the unit. It comes with underground parking, and the top four levels have a private elevator. The unit I am looking at is on the level below the penthouse the underground garage is also secure. The garage is monitored by onsite security and state of the art cameras. The building itself has cameras in every common area, which includes an indoor swimming pool and fitness center as well as a doorman and concierge. We enter the lobby, and the doorman greets us.
We make our way up to the twenty-fourth floor. Michaels tells me he will wait outside while I look at the unit. I walk into the foyer and see a giant chandelier above the entrance. Walking into the living room, I see the space is huge and open. The living room opens up to a huge kitchen with an island and bar stools. Everything is the unit is new and stainless steel there is a huge butler's pantry and laundry room. I see a half-bath off the living room as well as an informal dining area. The ceilings have exposed beams, it's strange, but it looks like a high-end ski lodge. I walk to the stairs off the living room and see that it's a loft style bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and two walk in closets. The entire east-facing wall is made up of windows that face the mountains. I know this apartment is well over what I want to spend. I continue looking through the apartment there is an additional guest bedroom with its own bathroom and huge closet. Walking back to the living room, I feel a bit sad, but hopeful that I will find something I love that's in my budget.
I hear Michael on the phone .“ Yes, mom, I'm here now. Yes, I understand. Okay, I will see you tomorrow. Yes, I will tell her she is coming. Bye . ”
I tap Michael on the shoulder and see him blush. “ So, I take it that was your mom ? ”
Michael straightened his shoulders as if he was ready to give an order. "Yes, and she wants me to remind you that brunch starts at eleven, and she expects you there." I start laughing.
“I take it no one says No to your mom and everyone tows the line.”
He is laughing now. “My mom has six kids we all know who wears the pants in our family.”
“This place is great, but I was looking somewhere in the four hundred thousands and I'm
